Default Lexapro + Insomnia...+Elavil

Hi,

Just wondering if someone here is taking both and their experience? I was on Elavil a while ago until I returned to normal then stopped. I had a setback in July that came with significant anxiety hence the Lexapro/Ciraplex(cdn) 10mg.

My insomnia seems to be getting worst to about 4hrs or less of sleep, I was re-prescribed the Elavil 10mg. I read there is a moderate risk for serotonin syndrome I assume for higher dosages.

Anyone have a better insomnia strategy? Meditation and eliminating stimulants (sugar, caffeine, other) does not appear to be helping.
